But like you said. What a terrible line.

Mon, 07 May 2012 10:40:51 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145228#comment-295761I think Gary Thorne (or maybe it was the color commentator) called them split-changes. I wonder how many position players have a splitter/split-change in their back pocket.

Mon, 07 May 2012 08:08:42 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145228#comment-295754Not like last year’s O’s pitchers (the at bats they had were pretty good, a number of hits and some home runs).

Mon, 07 May 2012 08:06:17 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145228#comment-295753Meh… I’m not too worried. He went over 6 innings his last outing, which isn’t bad, and the bullpen isn’t that burned out. Buck didn’t push any of the relievers particularly hard (pretty sure they all pitched two innings or less, and a couple of those innings were fairly low in pitch count). We’ve got a couple guys that could pitch tomorrow and could always bring someone else up if necessary.

The way Buck played this game, he knew what he was doing and had it planned well before the start of the 16th inning. In fact, I think the coaching might have been the biggest difference between the two teams in this game. Seems telling that Buchholz was yelling at Valentine when he was pulled.

When I saw that, I said to myself, “wasn’t this play similar to last season’s final game when they got Scutaro out at home plate.”

Deja Vu when that play happened! 🙂

Proud. Just proud. 🙂

Mon, 07 May 2012 05:16:03 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145228#comment-295723There have been a lot of years recently where this performance would bring up serious questions about putting him in the bullpen. Fortunately, the Orioles this season are winning in part with an excellent group of relievers.

I remember listening to the radio as a child, spending the night at my grandparents, when Jeff Tackett pitched the ninth inning of a blowout loss for the Orioles. There is something about a position player forced (or asked, in other cases) to pitch that sticks in the memory.

Especially when they strike out Adrian goddamn Gonzalez.

Mon, 07 May 2012 01:17:56 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145228#comment-295611He was already hitting as DH. Baltimore effectively forfeited the DH position when he became the pitcher.

Mon, 07 May 2012 01:00:44 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=145228#comment-295603I’m confused. So he pitched the 16th and 17th yet went to bat in the Orioles’ half of the 17th? As primarily an NL watcher, I thought that the pitcher didn’t bat in the AL. What gives?

But seriously, that game was freaking incredible.
